2. Siblings of students currently enrolled.
3. Students currently enrolled and in good standing at another school in the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston.
4. Catholic children of participating parishioners who are siblings or children of a graduate of the School.
5. Children of parishioners who are registered, contributing and participating members of the School Parish (or if a central school, one of the participating parishes).*
6. Children of parishioners who are registered, contributing, and participating members at another Catholic parish within the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston.*
7. Non-Catholic students (Non-Catholic students will be enrolled or added to a waiting list in the order of applications received).

* Families can obtain a form from their parish that is to be signed by the pastor and submitted to the school  at application.

Wait List

• If an opening becomes available, students on the wait list will be given priority for those openings in the same order of preference as detailed in the Admission Eligibility protocols.
• The wait list will exist for the current academic year only.
• The wait list will be established after the enrollment process for the upcoming school year has ended and will terminate when that school year ends.
